(Jul 13 05, 05:46)no ldww, not at all. i would venture an estimate that 85% of us here work with LAMP configurations to do our job, run our portfolio, ect on a daily basis- this does NOT make us LAMP developers. a LAMP developer is a developer (specifically) that is suited to set-up, maintain and most importantly, design systems from the outset for sites, app's, and connectivity. you would be a fairly robust PHP author, along with mySql administrator and have a pretty good to excellent knowledge of Apache and all it's power to be able tooptimize it's tricks for the very system it is running under.
basically, you would be a stout developer of these particular open source technologies/languages and be able to work with them exclusively and integrate "outside" types when needed.

no sweat, ldww. i had the very same questions about this years ago and it was harder than not to find a clear answer about it. happy to help. if you aren't a LAMP developer, i would suggest becoming really ggood friends with someone who is. makes your life w/projects to be a whole lots nicer........:)

I've been called a LAMP developer but would rather FreeBSD to linux any day. But I guess a FBAMP developer doesn't have the same ring to it.
BSD > linux

when I hear LAMP, I think PHP mostly. Yeah knowing the in's and out's of Apache and Linux is important, but for the most part you are PHP'ing with MySQL dB.

whoa there, hold your god damn horses.
the original use of LAMP was way to club together the open source and free technologies/software/languages of Linux, Apache, MySQL and PERL, not PHP. since PHP exploded (in popularity) two or three years ago the P has been considered to be PHP or, more often, PHP and PERL.
on top of that, many good LAMP developers and development teams would also say that to join them you would need to add regular expressions to that, plus have a good to very good grounding in javascript (there isn't mush use in having a great PHP to a MySQL db form if you are unable to validate it, and have to hand it over to the HTML/JavaScript junior).
Some would even add TCL/TK development.
Just be careful (if its a job you're applying for) when deciding that being a LAMP devloper means Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
